Pros

not overworked flexible schedule interesting products good public reputation tuition reimbursement program

Cons

declining industry (people in the US are tired of spending so much on defense) highly secretive annual review system where 70% of employees get the same small raise each year few promotions overall atmosphere of mediocre / sub-par engineers who just want a paycheck management will routinely lie to you very high attrition medical benefits were replaced by a cheap HMO plan under Aetna. no stock purchase program unless you are an exec.

Pros

Large, Stable company. Lots of opportunities to move around the company. Excellent benefits packages, including a great tuition reimbursement program for engineers. Lots of resources available within the company for training and self education. Impressive projects, especially within the Aeronautics unit (i.e. Joint Strike Fighter, F-22, etc)

Cons

Mediocre pay compared to other competitors or similar corporations. Hard to move up rapidly within the organization. Slow-paced, low stress work environment. (I knew a new hire who had no real work for several months)
